I decided to only run 37''s for now so I ordered a Truxx leveling/lift kit. It comes with 1.25" rear coil spacers and front tortion keys with drop brackets for the shock''s and the front is suposed to be adjustable 2-3". I didn''t get it yet but when I do I will let everyone know how it works out, maybe I can take some before and afters too.

Update: I installed the kit and both the front and rear of the truck sit 1.25" higher than before. I had already had the tortion bars adjusted to match the front so from stock the front is probable 2.5" higher than stock.

Before:

Well the back coil spacers were easy, only had to unbolt the shocks and sway bar links and jack up the truck and slip in the spacer. The front kind of sucked because getting the torsion bar key''s off can be tough.

is it just me or does the change not really look that different? Im thinking about lifting up the front a bit for the time being, but it looks about the same with the before and after?

Well it is only 1.25" taller. I looked at the before and after pix and I think you can definatly tell, look at them side by side. Keep in mind I already had the tortion bars cranked with the stock keys on them.

I just installed the Truxx Kit today. All I did was the front to level it out. The torsion keys were easy compared to the new shock mounts. I will upload some before and after pics tomorrow. The kit new and it set me back $180 after shipping. It took me about 4 hours with simple hand tools. Im still debating if the difference is that noticable on mine.

Looks good man. I would just get some new wheels and tires on that thing. My buddy has an 02 with a 6 inch lift and 18s on 38s. Looks awesome.
